Being black there are women like her everywhere. So I think that's cause for confusion. She should be held as the rule for the many manifestations of black beuty but whites it seemed have just "discovered" that is what we look like. It's hard to argue that point without seeming like you're trying to take something away from her. But clearly the caricature of black womanhood in popular culture is pervasive enough to hold her as the exception rather than the rule.

Lupeto is not Happening! Lupita Nyong'o Dating Somali Rapper K'naan

Lupita Nyong’o has a man, and he’s not who everyone thinks he is.

On
Monday, fresh off of her Oscar win, the exhausted actress was spotted
arriving to Live With Michael and Kelly alongside Somali musician
K’naan, who had a huge hit “Waving Flag” in 2010. The two have been
huge supporters of each others’ careers with K’naan attending pre-awards
functions to celebrate with Lupita, and she in return, has been bigging
him up and saying how much she loves his music on her social media
accounts. She was also spotted at his show at Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles
on February 27, which she helped him promote. One attendee said Lupita
was extremely cordial, but she couldn’t take photos because if she took
one, she’d get stuck posing for pics all night and she wanted to enjoy
the music.

The day after the Oscars, while paparazzi was
waiting outside of Jared’s crib thinking they’d get a peek at Lupita,
she was with her real boo who was holding on tight to her new Oscar.
And you know, as hard as this woman works, she’s not just gonna let
ANYBODY hold her award!
